What's not to love? ~Everything, Evanora Angel [uplifting book club books TXT] 📗

‘Noooooooooooo’ Alice squealed as Marny jumped onto her back and placed a wet slobbery kiss on her cheek. ‘I’m going to be late now, seriously!’ Alice said trying to scrape her little sister off her back, but my big sister was giggling now. ‘Come on hop off now Marny, i need to go’ 

‘Whats all this racket girls?’ mum came in looking like the usual; stripy pajama shorts and a blue tank top she got from Mrs Willow the lady who owned the creepy book store. I swear she is a witch. ‘Marny is being difficult’ Alice said, but she smiled at Marny all the same.

‘Come on now sweetie, time for your afternoon nap.’ 

‘But mummm.’ Marny nagged. Mum dragged her away and not looking back shouted at Alice, ‘Be home by six! and have fun with Mark!’ ‘I will’ Alice screamed slamming the door behind her. I watched as she walked onto the verge stumbling with her big black heals covered in gold studs. Alice was wearing a tight black dress short at the front and even shorter at the back. She can’t stand long dresses. She had her hair pulled up into a messy but complex bun, with silver ribbons dangling down. I must say she looked really attractive and I could see why no man could resist her. We watched as a little white car pulled up on the verge. Her boyfriend Mark got out and said something to her. Jugging by the way she giggled, I suppose he said she looked hot or something. As Mark stepped closer to Alice and leaned in I decided to close the curtains. Me and my big sister Sapphire just looked at each other. ‘Gross’ she said. I nodded approvingly. Then we burst out laughing. 

Sapphire is starting year ten at school and I am starting year nine. Alice is my big sister who is twenty one and very pretty, unlike me. My real name is Samantha, but all my friends and family call me sam for short. My hair goes longer than my shoulders and below my....well you know. Lets just say quite above the hips. It is a rusty brown colour. My skin is tanned but not too tanned. I was working hard in summer to get my body up to shape for my new boarding school, Serenade. My eyes are a burgundy red. Everyone thinks they are the coolest. I have three sisters. Marny is the youngest, she has brown curly hair that doesn't go quite as far as her shoulders and her eyes are an aqua colour, very big and bold. My other older sister Sapphire has dead straight blond hair. She gets it from our dad, well our old dad. 

My old dad (Stefan) passed away just after Sapphire was born. A few years later another man just had to intrude and introduce him self to the family. His name is Bob. Me and Sapphire imagine him in a yellow builders hat and overalls with big yellow boots, and we call him Bob the builder. It seems like he doesn't seem to mind but I can tell he just wants to impress mum by being funny and laughing at the joke. Me and Sapphire don't like him very much but Marny, on the other hand, adores him. She calls him dada, In her usual way. I suppose he is our dad now because he proposed to mum a long time ago and they got married and lived happily ever after. Thats what mum thinks. Mum was very excited about the wedding and I was to. I got to be a flower girl for her wedding. I wore a fluffy pink silk dress that slinked down to my tummy and then the dress exploded. There was three layers  at the bottom and it had lace over the top. I loved it but it was only a hire dress so I knew I couldn’t keep it. It was used for the Cinderella play at our school and my mum battered her eyelashes at the principal to let her use it, and of course he did. Alice was a bridesmaid and Sapphire was one to . They wore light pink dresses, (same colour as mine) with silky white wedged heels. Sapphire and Alice's dresses were tight all the way to the bottom and their hair was pulled up into lose buns with curls spilling out. Mum looked like a queen. She had a long white dress with sequins and beads embodied on the top part of the dress under the lace. The bottom part was amazing. It had five layers. One; Clear piece of fabric. Two; A white piece of fabric. Three; A light pink silky piece of fabric. Four; A piece of cream coloured piece of fabric covered with sparkly beads, and finally the fifth layer. A piece of white lace embodied as flowers. Her hair was out and had been curled into ringlets and was down to her waist. The wedding was held at a little church around where we live, St Andrews. 

My house is quite big two story. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Alice, Marny, Sapphire and me have our own rooms upstairs. Alice’s room has a massive sign on the door saying restricted area. Iv’e been in her room before, but only once. She has Dark purple walls with poster’s of teen rockstars and Pictures above her desk, of her her boyfriend and her close friends. I had a peek in her cupboard once, She has a big mirror on the side and all her make up clumped into one big pile. Her desk is pilled up with school homework and projects. That’s when Alice came in, she absolutely had the biggest fit ever. She started screaming at me a told me to get out. She was really grumpy that day but normally she adores me. Then there is Marny’s room. All I’m gonna say is pink. Pink. Pink. Sapphires room is big with a queen sized bed and a sparkly red cover. She has all her high heals put on display on her shelf along with some nail polishes and perfume. My room has fluoro green walls, a fluoro yellow bed side table and a plain white desk. Mum insisted on something not fluoro so I said my desk can be white. My wardrobe is filled with all the latest fashion; clothes, shoes and accessories. Alice works as a model for a fashion magazine so she always grabs what ever she can stuff into her handbag, and when it gets to small she skips Sapphire and gives it all to me. Alice has a soft spot for me.

‘Sam! Hurry up it’s almost seven thirty!’ Sapphire shouted from downstairs. 

‘Shut-up Sapphire!’ I groaned hardly moving from my bed. 

‘Samm!’ Get down here now you still haven't packed your bag’ I heard mum begin to trample up the staircase.

‘Coming mum!’ I shouted almost collapsing out of bed.

I zoomed down the stairs had the most quickest yet most delicious breakfast, (raspberry muffin) then ran back up the stairs to back my bag. I threw everything into my floral pattered suitcase including all my makeup and jewelry. 

‘Bye mum’ Sapphire said giving her a kiss on the cheek.

‘Bye sweetie’ mum said returning the favor. ‘I guess I’ll see you girls in about twenty weeks, after two terms of corse.’

‘See ya’ I smiled and waved at mum as the train pulled up. I stepped on and turned back but the doors has already closed. 

‘Time for another great year, hey Sam?’

‘I suppo-’ I stopped. Coming towards me was the most beautiful guy I had ever seen. He had golden hair the colour of the sand at the beach and his eyes were baby blue. His body was super tanned and he was wearing a tight t-shirt that showed the clear lines of his abs, and jeans. ‘Be right back’ I said nudgging Sapphire towards the gorgeous guy.

‘Ha!’ she said ‘Make-up check. I’m coming.’

Two minutes later I was reapplying a layer of foundation the train bathroom.

‘He was so cute OMG.’

‘Totally agreed.’ Sapphire said. ‘Did you see his body!’

‘Hey!’ I said a little to loudly. ‘He looks my age not yours!’ 

‘Hahaha’ Sapphire giggled. ‘Just winding you up’ 

‘Humf!’ I stuck my nose up in the air. ‘I’m disappointed in you Sapphire! Not completing homework. Inappropriate!’ Sapphire burst out laughing and so did I. ‘Glad we don’t have mum telling us what to. 

‘No way!’ Sapphire began to dance around the train bathroom. ‘I can do whatever I want!’ 

She started pulling bras out of her suit case and putting them around the basin taps.

‘What?’ she said looking at my smugly. ‘It’s an improvement!’ 

We both started laughing. All school students getting of at Serenade girls boarding school and Mackenzie's boys boarding school please make your way to a pair of exit doors. Said a voice on the loud speaker.

‘Quick!’ I said snatching Sapphires multi coloured lacy bras of the basin taps. 

‘Hurry!’ Sapphire grabbed my make-up bag and tossed it into my suitcase.

‘Crap’ I shouted picking up my suit case and running out the door.

‘Wait!’ Sapphire shouted as the train driver closed the doors. ‘Please my little sister wet her pants and we had to change quickly and we really need to get of at the girls boarding school Serenade! 

‘Oh..I’m so sorry of you go girls’ The train driver nodded in Sapphires direction and gave me a sympathetic look.

‘Thanks Mr bus driver!’ I said in the most babyish voice I could come up with.

*Cough* ‘Train Driver’ *Cough Cough* The man said glaring at me.

As soon as the train was out of sight me and Sapphire burst out laughing. ‘What a joke!’ Sapphire practically screamed. 

‘Did he seriously think I was that young to wet my pants!’ 

‘Probs!’ Sapphire shrugged and giggled at the same time.

‘We better hurry if we want to make it on time. Don’t want Mrs Bahjau telling us off do we now?’

‘Ahahaha so ture!’ I said running towards the gates and opening them.

We ran down the street, Sapphires heals clacking against the ground and my pineapple top flying up as i ran. As we reached our school we looked at each other.

‘Good luck with finding your friends!’ Sapphire smiled at me. ‘Oh wait I almost forgot. You don’t have any!’ Hahaha Sapphire laughed.

‘Guess what!’ I said to Sapphire trying to keep a straight face. ‘Your joke was so funny I forgot to laugh! HA!’ I said looking smug.

‘Fine. You win this time. But I’ll get you!’ Sapphire said running off to a big group of girls who embraced her into a warm hug. I scanned the school grounds looking for my friends just when I thought I would give up and go to my dorm instead, I felt a small tap on the shoulder. I spun around quickly and looked my best friends in the eyes. 

‘Hey!’ I shouted opening my arms so that I could give them all a hug.

‘How was your holidays!’ Macy asked. 

‘Amazing!’ I replied. ‘This really hot guy stayed next door to me in our holiday house and we hooked
